Chapter 1814
Annabel nodded weakly. "Yes, it has nothing to do with Ms. Charmine. She treats me very well, so why would she harm me?"
Senior Bailey made it apparent that he did not believe that Charmine did it. He looked at Annabel and asked, "Think properly: What else did you eat last night?"
Annabel pursed her pale lips and said, "I...I had a craving, so
I had some ice cream."
"No way!" snapped Fanny angrily. "Ms. Annabel, how can you be so kind? Ms. Charmine is obviously going against you, yet you spoke up for her? I served you all night. After dinner, you only drank the sea-cucumber soup given to you by Ms.
Charmine. You didn't have ice cream!" ’
Fanny then swore, "If I lied, I'll be struck by lightning!"
With that oath, Annabel pursed her lips helplessly as if she had to agree.
Everyone then fixed their eyes on Charmine.
Senior Bailey's eyes went from feeling determined to slightly suspicious.
Charmine met their suspecting gazes and said coldly, "What reasons are there for me to hurt Annabel? If I wished to hurt her, I wouldn't have let her have the baby in the first place!"
Susan glared at her and articulated her words, "Chris needed a cure, and you had no choice. Now, you no longer need it, and the baby’s father is still Anthony. You're not pregnant, so you're jealous and hate her! You agreed for Annabel to stay here because you were in a hurry to get married to Anthony!"
"Shut up!" Anthony's face turned cold as he glared at Susan darkly. He said arrogantly, "It was I who begged her to marry me from the start. She was never in a hurry to marry me! If you insult her again, you better be ready to pay the price!"
Susan's face stiffened as her own son rebuked her. She glared at Charmine coldly and hated her even more.
If only her daughter-in-law was Annabel, her relationship with Anthony would not be as bad.
It was all this woman’s fault!
"Alright, alright, don’t fight,” Grandma Bailey interjected." Have Nial come home to examine whether the seacucumber is fine and we'll have an answer, won't we?"
